What does an East Indian muslim born in Africa, married to a Canadian, living in Texas, stay at home dad, think of what is happening in the world?

Mandela

What can I say, which the world doesn't know. I have been a huge fan of Mandela. The only leader in Africa to give up power willingly. How come the rest of the people in power don't get it. How come we the people let those in power stay. The saddest thing is the people who are out there today using his name and his legacy to justify themselves. Vanity and cowardice is not Mandela. Indifference is not Mandela. Our condolences to the family and the world. However let me be the first to say, Obama has no right to give the speech he gave. He cannot talk about the mantle and justice. This is the man who sits on the sidelines as people all over the world rise up for freedom and democracy. He lets people get killed in Syria, he lets people get killed in Iran, he lets the muslim world abuse their women and not a peep comes out. Mandela would not tolerate any of this. Do not kid yourself, making speeches was not Mandela. On a day of mourning and celebration I ended up being frustrated and angry because this half white president went to South Africa and threw a stone when he lives a glass house.
